Thunderbolt 2 dramatically redefines external storage possibilities by smashing all performance limitations. Giving you 20Gb/s of throughput, you can transfer data to and from your external drives faster than ever before. This unprecedented performance makes Thunderbolt 2 the only external solution for high-resource intensive storage applications including high-resolution video editing and photography on your Mac and MacBook Pro&reg;.

Accelerated Performance & Security with Hardware RAID

The S354SMTB2R supports hardware RAID enabling you to further increase your performance, and protect your valuable data at the same time, with support for RAID modes: JBOD / 0 / 1 / 1+0 . The included software lets you monitor your array as well as set your hardware RAID configuration. Hardware RAID increases your performance as data is off loaded to the enclosure freeing up system resources for more process intensive/important tasks like file rendering (3D/Video). The enclosure also supports Mac OSX&reg; & Windows&reg; software RAID configurations. In addition, using a 2.5in to 3.5in SSD adapter such 25SAT35HDD, enables you to add a single SSD to your array and utilize HyperDuo, allowing for near-SSD performance at HDD capacities.

Drive Protection with Sleek Durable Housing

To ensure peak performance from your external storage, the Thunderbolt 2 enclosure maintains an ideal operating environment for your drives. The enclosure features a built-in fan for improved air circulation and an aluminum housing that maximizes heat dissipation while providing rugged durability. Plus, with a sleek metallic finish, the enclosure will look great next to your Mac or MacBook Pro&reg;.

Added Flexibility and Scalability with Daisy Chain

Get the most out of your Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt 2 devices by leveraging the Thunderbolt daisy chain port. You can connect up to 6 additional devices such as monitors, docking stations, or additional external drives -- the perfect solution for Ultrabooks or ultra-portable laptops which typically have a limited number of I/O ports.

The S354SMTB2R is backed by a StarTech.com two year warranty and free lifetime technical support.
